VG-10 Kiritsuke-Santoku Knife with teak handle

<h2>What is VG-10 Steel?</h2><p> VG-10 is a premium Japanese stainless steel renowned for its exceptional balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening a rare combination in a mono stainless blade. With a higher carbon content than standard stainless steels, VG-10 achieves a finer, sharper edge while remaining highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for home cooks who want performance without demanding maintenance.</p><h2>Why Choose This Knife?</h2><p> The Kiritsuke-Santoku combines two iconic Japanese blade profiles: the angled, pointed tip of the Kiritsuke with the flat, versatile belly of the Santoku. The result is a multi-purpose knife that excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping whether you are working with vegetables, fish, or boneless meat. Elegant enough for gifting, practical enough for everyday use.</p><p> The teak wood handle is no ordinary wood. Recognized as one of the world's three most precious timbers, teak offers outstanding natural durability and water resistance, protecting the tang and ensuring a comfortable, secure grip over years of use.</p><h2>Specifications</h2><ul> <li><strong>Brand:</strong> Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide</li> <li><strong>Steel:</strong> VG-10 Mono Stainless Steel</li> <li><strong>Construction:</strong> Mono Steel (Single Layer)</li> <li><strong>Blade Style:</strong> Kiritsuke-Santoku (Multi-purpose)</li> <li><strong>Edge:</strong> Double-Edged</li> <li><strong>Handle:</strong> Teak Wood</li> <li><strong>Handedness:</strong> Both Hands</li> <li><strong>Use:</strong> Multi-purpose, Home Kitchen</li> <li><strong>Origin:</strong> Japan</li></ul>
